To close for Distance

by John   Oct 12, 2011


Blinded or ignorant Ive always known
its past me but too close while we've grown
betrayed by something that can never be postponed
chasing the feeling that leaves myself alone
protect yourself from coming up with common sense
collect some doubt and make a small expense
for what its worth I cant leap this fence
when its what keeps me from gaining distance
youve molded me to be this stranger
when I looked to your eyes and you weren't there
forever mine you used to swear
something that I could never begin to prepare
when you walk down to him remember this face
and how you will never know me or be able erase
the color from pictures and empty space
while my empty soul searches for your grace
